The Steyning Society
Monday 15th February - 12:00 - 11:00Tom Aubreywww.steyningsociety.org.uk/talks'Why gardening matters' by Juliet Sargeant (Award winning garden designer and experienced plants woman)Juliet says 'This will be a reflection on 30 years of work as a garden designer, outlining some projects that have been important to me in transforming people's lives and the way they relate to their gardens and the wider landscape. I will speak about the changes that I have witnessed in people's understanding of the importance of landscape to our health and well being; the burgeoning body of scientific evidence and the slow, but important change in the attitudes of policy-makers.
And, I will celebrate the work of other garden-makers, scientists and health professionals in this field.
I will outline the importance of the home gardener as steward of a large total of land and illustrate how greater connectedness to Nature is changing the way that we garden. How we are eschewing some traditional methods and learning to garden more in harmony with Nature and with greater responsibility to the Planet and its future inhabitants'
